SHERMAN'S EXCHANGE.
A New Years Gift to the Community by W.
6. Sherman, the Well Known Caterer.

That indianapolis is nothing but an overgrown
village" is expression which has been a stand
Ing slur upon the city for the past decade In many
lines of business this was without the semblance
OF truth but as touching restaurants, until re-
cent years, it was most applicable and exceed
ingly appropriate. If ever city felt the need
of frstclass restaurant this city was the one.
Bnt, thanks to kind Providence for sending us
Sherman, new era has dawned, and the days
Of indianapolis as exclusive hoop pole and
gingerbread exchange have passed away. In
dianapoltans now need never feel the blush of
shame in q comparison of the restaurants here
with those of other cities. The brilliant open-
ing of 1.-The Sherman" No 20 South Meridian
street. greatly improved in all its appointments
ten days ago, was an event CT no small import
in business circles. It was an acquisition which
gave character to the city, and in which all pub
lie spirited denizens take pride Following
upon the heels Of the re-opening of
the Sherman was the opening on New
Years day OF Sherman's Exchange at
No. 81 North Pennsylvania street. This
new place is equal in all its details to either The
Sherman or Sherman's Cafe, and completes q
trio Of eating houses which reflect credit upon
their protector. as we'll as upon the capital city
of Indiana.

The Exchange comes as handsome New Years
Offering to the city. Its location is particularly
acceptable to many of the up town business

plies; his books and the details of every depart

minutes notice he is able to give full detailed
condition of his entire affairs. Mr. Sherman is
| to be congratulated on his remarkable success in

is to be congratulated for having among its bust

The Texas Drouth.

GALVESTON, Texas, April 10.-The
past week has been one of expectancy
aud disappointment to the people of
Texas, no rains of any consequence
having fallen throughout the i'm
mense area suffering from drouth.
Dispatches and letters to the Galveston
Nes0s, the San Antonio Express and
other papers of the State continue to
detail the widespread and threatening
character of the drouth which has per-
ceptibly increased since last report. The
drouth now extends from the far
western grazing lands across the State
tor distance of 300 miles into the pine
region bordering on Louisiana, but
decreases in severity as it approaches
the pine, from which section complaints
are of recent date. The general rains
which usually set in at the full of the
moon are wanting, and the cool, dry
winds of the past fortnight continue
mediately west and southwest of San
Antonio, embracing Medina, Bonderla,
Uyalde, Frio and Atascoa Counties,
where moderate rams fell yesterday but
not enough, say the dispatches from
that vicinity. This is one OF the graz
ing sections of the State where stock was
dying. Between San Antonio and the
coast, embracing such fertile counties as
Guadeloupe, Gonzales, Lavaca, Colo
rado Caldwell, Bastrop and a dozen
others, the drouth has assumed q
serious aspect, putting an embargo
upon all agriculture developments.
especially cotton, the chief product Ct
this section One CORRESPONDENT
describes the roadways throughout the
belt as covered to a depth of several
inches with dust. Fields are barren,
even of weeds, while strings of cattle
almost too poor to stand up are travel
ing constantly in search OF grass and
water. sIn central Texas, embracing
about thirty counties, surrounding
Waco, Corsicana, and Butnet, The STU
alton is scarcely more promising, all
reports agreeing that nothing but very
early and plentiful rams will avert seri
Gus danger or the failure of crops. In
northern and northwestern Texas the
drouth is not as severely felt as in other
sections, but complaints are increasing
daily. A slight sprinkle OF rain fell
during the week in Mitchell County,
along the line of Texas & Pacific road,
but no report OF rainfall in the great
Panhandle district has yet been re-
ceived. A result Of the drouth is tie
notable scarcity of early vegetables at
the principal points. Anxiety over
the tuation is becoming greater every
day. Wholesale houses here are calling
their drummers off the road, as country
merchants refuse to buy, pending the
uncertainty of the crop outlook.

notice to the effect that during the
presence of lord Lansdowne in the
Senate Chamber at the opening of ar
Lament. on the 14th inst, the galleries
OF the Senate will be closed. This is the

galleries of the Senate always on such
occasions being open to the public, who
are admitted by ticket. The explana-
ton is given that it will prevent con-
fusion. The opinion is that his excel

contained in which he is AFRAID will be
carried into effect if the crowd is per-
mitted TO enter the gallery OF the
